2016 XTS Overview

Until performance-oriented models took precedence, full-size sedans served as the solid pillars of the Cadillac lineup.Introduced for 2013, the Cadillac XTS is the largest sedan in the group.Considered a step up from Cadillac's ATS and CTS sports sedans, the Cadillac XTS is about comfort, refinement and capabilities.

Drivers get ample passenger room with the Cadillac XTS.Backseat space qualifies as massive, topping that of most similar-size sedans.Occupants enjoy abundant headroom and bountiful leg space, within a quiet and refined four-door.Compared against such rivals as the Audi A6 and Mercedes-Benz E-Class, Cadillac scores well in technology and available features.

Two 3.6-liter V6 engines are available.Smooth and predictable, the base engine sends 305 horsepower to a 6-speed automatic transmission.Buyers of upper-level models who prefer more get-up-and-go can select a Vsport twin-turbocharged version of the V6, whipping up 410 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque.

Plenty of safety features are available, though you have to purchase an option group to get the most advanced items.One of them can apply brakes automatically, when sensors detect trouble, bringing the car to a halt from up to about 20 mph.

Also on the technical front, 4G LTE connectivity with GM's OnStar can create an in-car wi-fi network.All XTS sedans have CUE (Cadillac User Experience), with an eight-inch capacitive touchscreen (similar to an iPad) at the center of the instrument panel.Few actual buttons exist; nearly everything is done on-screen.
